For anyone vexed by the problem of conflict and hatred, this book has good news. Healing Social Divisions offers a line of intervention that is relatively straightforward: Meditation can heal social divisions even if only a small fraction of people practise it. Analyzing the effectiveness of meditation interventions is challenging but the book does a great job borrowing from particle physics to explain social behavior. It is easy to follow and truly entertaining.
